Sorry, Jericho fans - your beloved show has officially come to the end of its run.  CBS finally announced today what many had already anticipated:  The program will not be coming back next year.

This news means next week’s episode will be the season - and series - finale.  Thankfully, the producers were prepared for this possible development.  Two endings were created in hopes of giving devoted viewers some sense of completion.  Unfortunately, I don’t believe Jericho could have ever ended the way anyone wanted it to.

Even though fans designed a campaign to get the show a second outing,  this year’s ratings never reflected that level of passion.  Just this Tuesday, the drama trailed far behind its competitors at 10 pm.  (And that includes a repeat.)

While I seriously doubt another truckload of peanuts could make CBS reconsider once again, there’s always the chance it could be resurrected on cable.
